ng. hence to will anything but the supreme thing, is to wander still further from it- any will but that to give up the self to the beloved is black magick- yet this surrender is so simple an act that to our complex minds it is the most difficult of all acts; and hence training is necessary. further, the self surrendered must not be less than the all-self; one must not come before the altar of the most high with an impure or an imperfect offering. as it is written in liber lxv "to await thee is the end, not the beginning" this training may lead through all sorts of complications, varying according to the nature of the student, and hence it may be necessary for him at any moment to will all sorts of things which to others might seem unconnected with the goal. thus it is not "a priori" obviou

for that stage in the evolutionary process which is called "discipleship" the reason why this is sadly the case, and why initiation seems so far away from the membership of most of the groups who claim an insight into the initiation processes, is that they have not laid the needed emphasis upon that mental illumination which perforce lights the way to the gate leading to the "secret place of the most high" they have laid the emphasis upon personality devotion to the masters of the wisdom, and to their own organisation leaders; they have stressed adherence to authoritative teaching and rules of life, and have not primarily emphasised adherence to the still small voice of the soul. the way to the place of initiation and to the centre where christ may be found is the way of the soul, the lon

ch later initiation, he cannot see "eye to eye" as the phrase goes. he becomes aware of a growing point of light which, from a pin-point of intensest brilliance develops before him into a five-pointed star. at the fourth initiation, it is not a star which shines forth before him, but a triangle; and within that triangle he will perceive an eye regarding him, and for the first time he does see the most high "eye to eye" at the fifth initiation no symbol or light substance separates or protects him, but he stands before the initiator face to face, and the freedom of the city of god is his. he is not yet a member of the great council, but he has the right of entrance into shamballa, and from that point he passes on to a more intimate relation, if that is his chosen destiny. he may not even fi

evolution, from the very dawn of the evolutionary cycle. the initiate in good standing looks into the heart of things; he has forced his way to the very "heart of the sun (using those words in a "planetary" and not in a "solar" sense) and from that vantage point he becomes aware of the "central spiritual sun" and the way of the higher evolution which leads inevitably to that assured centre of the most high. the three worlds of material living and the inner world of meaning which the soul has revealed to him are now left behind; he is suddenly confronted with the world of significances, with the true world of causes and of origination, and by the realm of the universal. he discovers that all he had thought anent the law of cause and effect was so limited that in the light of this higher evo

THE GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE UNUSUAL UNEXPLAINED VOL 1

r scholarship acknowledges the contribution of rabbi moses de leon (1240 1305) and other hebrew scholars in the thirteenth century. the zohar states that since the human soul is rooted in the divine, the redemption of the world will be achieved when each individual has undergone the process of the transmigration of souls and completes his or her task of unification. because humans cannot know the most high s plans for each individual, they cannot know how they are being judged at all times, both before and after coming into the world and when they leave it. because the goal of all human souls is to reenter the absolute from which they originally emerged, it is necessary for them to develop the level of perfection that will find them worthy of reunion with god. since it is unlikely that suc

us christ, with thy holy spirit. amen the third septenary. aphorism 15. they are called olympick spirits, which do inhabit in the firmament, and in the stars of the firmament: and the office of these spirits is to declare destinies, and to administer fatal charms, so far forth as god pleaseth to permit them: for nothing, neither evil spirit nor evil destiny, shall be able to hurt him who hath the most high for his refuge. if therefore any of the olympick spirits shall teach or declare that which his star to which he is appointed portendeth, nevertheless he can bring forth nothing into action, unless he be permitted by the divine power. it is god alone who giveth them power to effect it. unto god the maker of all things, are obedient all things celestial, sublunary, and infernal. therefore

ill they attend you, if they are desired? but there do appear also evil spirits, and destroyers, which is caused by the envy and malice of the devil; and because men do allure and draw them unto themselves with their sin, as a punishment due to sinners. whosoever therefore desireth familiarly to have a conversation with spirits, let him keep himself from enormious sins, and diligently pray to the most high to be his keeper; and he shall break through all the snares and impediments of the devil: and let him apply himself to the service of god, and he will give him an increase in wisdom. 17 aphor 20. all things are possible to them that believe them, and are willing to receive them; but to the incredulous and unwilling, all things are unpossible: there is no greater hinderance then a waverin

itions. aphorism 35. the humane understanding is the onely effecter of all wonderful works, so that it be joyned to any spirit; and being joyned, she produceth what she will. therefore we are carefully to proceed in magick, lest that syrens and other monsters deceive us, which likewise do desire the society of the humane soul. let the magician carefully hide himself alwaies under the wings of the most high, lest he offer himself to be devoured of the roaring lion; for they who desire earthly things, do very hardly escape the snares of the devil. 24 the sixth septenary. aphorism 36. care is to be taken, that experiments be not mixed with experiments; but that every one be onely simple and several: for god and nature have ordained all things to a certain and appointed end: so that for exampl
